1939-1945: World War II (1 Sept 1939 Jahr – 2 Sept 1945 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

World War II (September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945) was fought between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, including Germany, Italy, and Japan. The conflict arose from unresolved issues after World War I, fueled by fascist regimes seeking territorial expansion, dominance, and the reversal of the Treaty of Versailles. The Allied Powers emerged victorious, with Germany surrendering in May 1945 and Japan surrendering in September 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war had significant outcomes: the United States and the Soviet Union became global superpowers, decolonization accelerated in regions like India and Africa, and Germany was divided into occupation zones. The United Nations was formed to prevent future global conflicts. Key treaties included the 1945 Potsdam Agreement, which divided Germany into four occupation zones, and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaties, which imposed reparations and military limitations on Axis countries.
